It seems that Fibro pain can find the location of previous injuries and invoke an overactive pain response. I have found that old sports injuries hurt now that I have Fibro, when they never hurt before. It's very frustrating, but you are not alone. Have you tried acupuncture? I've had good luck with that.

Hi terbehr, I am in the exact same boat. I've also had FM for 10 years. It seems I finally come to terms with one symptom and then another starts :P This is a very helpful forum where you are most definitely not alone.

Often, the pain will jump around to different areas where previous trauma has happened, and learning what works for one type of pain, sometimes sets another type of pain in a different direction.
I would suggest a pain journal to help sort through the pain levels, what works, what doesn't, and what you do to relieve the pain.
You are definitely not alone with your pain, and the more you express your feelings, vent, and release the pain, the better you will be.
Hang in there!

    I did the dumbest thing today.  I charged my earbuds, unplugged the block and put the block in my little bag instead of the earbuds.  I wasn't happy about that when I got to the gym.  What a dummy!

    Reality Check

    Years ago, I won a mirrored armoire from my job.  It's in my bedroom but I rarely stand in front of it.  Yesterday, I had to have a dexascan done so I had to change into a gown.  There was a full length mirror in the changing room.  I'm aware that I gained 5 to 7 pounds over the last year from cheating on Keto but I didn't know what it looked like.  It was a reality check.
